slake707 - 2007-12-19 10:56 PM Another 2,000m tonight for 17,000m towards the goal of 20,000. Including my first ever time trial swim. Very exciting

Great job!!

Did everybody else on our team DIE?!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh, Happy Holidays...

I am here! I know I have been way gone, but still putting yards in the pool! I did 1650 yards this morning putting me at a little over 100% of my goal. I only have one swim day left if I can fit it in. The holidays are crashing around me, and my son has been on a concerted effort to knock off three team records for his club team (he swims for them and the high school), so it has been to 2/3 practices a day and three meets a week. On Sunday he did what he set out to do: Three records and #1 in the league for 100 Free and 100 Back, #2 for 100 fly. Sorry I had to brag a little. We travel to the Bahamas in March when he swims with the All-star team (that is payment for all the taxiing, and hours sittin' on hard bleachers).

Come on Nutcrackers let's swim!

Awesome AKtri!

Log your swims in your BT training log.  The spreadsheet has a link to your calender log so I can see what you did for each week.

Tammy,

Awesome job on getting to 100% with 1 to go. 

And please brag all you want regarding your son.  My son is 8 and currently trains with the 9-10 group for the Y team.  I feel your pride!

Sweet T, another one!!!  Were are going to be looking really good for week 3, thanks for the great effort everyone! 

LET'S GO NUTCRACKERS!!!

Great job everybody, especially you 100%'ers!!

I knocked off another 1300 today and am now at 81% of goal.  If things go as planned, I'll hit 100% on Wed. (swim Mon/Wed)...then I'll try to tack on some more as well.

Go Nutcrackers!!

Great job, I can feel a good week being posted for the nutcrackers!

It is so cool to watch them. My son struggled in his age group when he was 13 (13/14 AG), he worked so hard and his times just weren't dropping. He turned 14 in August and Holy cow, they are flying off him. The difference in his Backstroke time between July and November of this year was 30 seconds! Gotta love those hormones. Just keep your son focused on form at this young age, and when the hormones kick in watch out!

 Very impressive, hit the first goal and then a second goal, and still adding meters!  Do you have gills?

I completed my last swim for the year this morning, 1700 yards. I swam with my son who swam circles around me! That puts me about 2850 over my goal. I hope it helps the nutcrackers to torch those snowmen!

Great Job!!  I knocked off 1300 this morning, before the water aerobic ladies reduced things to two lanes and a crowd...this should put me around 90%.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Blessed and Prosperous New Year to each of you!!

Sweet...though today is a holiday for me, I climbed out of bed early and knocked off 1900.  This puts me at 100%+ for the challenge.  Planning to add a bit more before it's all over.  Hope everybody is having wonderful holidays!!

Awesome Lou!

I too got into the pool yesterday to burn off as much of the crap I ate the few days before!  I hope everyone had a great holiday.  I'm at 9500 with 500 to go and will be in the pool again tomorrow to get my goal plus some.

I'm working on the week 3 results so let's all keep up the great work! 

Come on Gina!  We all need you to get to at least 10,500 for the 70% window... 

OK Tom, your at 59% and counting, you need at least 15,310.5 to get into the 70% window.  YOU CAN DO IT!  

Woohoo! I hit my goal this morning! and had a good workout too. This challenge has really helped me stay on track and get back in the water.   Thanks everyone for the jump start!

Great job, oh fearless leader!!  Come on Nutcrackers, let's finish strong, strong, strong!!

Great job!! 

Keep up the good work - we all need to keep swimming and try to finish 110-120% of ind. goal, so we can help make up some of the team slack.
